In March, our employees in the accounting department selected The Princess Margaret D.I.Y. to Conquer Cancer initiative for donation.

Not only does The Princess Margaret Cancer Centre possess the expertise to treat over 200 types of cancers, but also the rarest forms. In addition it is home to the largest clinical trials program in Canada.

The radiation medicine program is the largest of its kind under one roof. Not to mention the surgical oncology program is the most comprehensive in the country. Each patient equally receives personalized treatment tailored uniquely to their needs.

Of course by participating in D.I.Y. fundraising, you have the opportunity to contribute to life-saving research in a deeply personal and impactful manner.

This challenge is distinctive as it does not involve “official” runs, set distances, specific times, not to mention finishing medals. It allows participants to focus on the cause itself.

For the most part this is deeply personal to one of our employees, Silvia.  Her mother was a patient at The Princess Margaret Hospital over 25 years ago. She benefited from the “Look Good, Feel Better” program. As a matter of fact it significantly uplifted her mother’s spirits during a challenging time. Silvia together with her family remain profoundly grateful for the comfort and support it provided.

Silvia extends her heartfelt gratitude to Steve Cooper and everyone at CS-1 for their generosity in helping her achieve her goal before the end of September.
